The main character in my book.
If I wrote a book the main character would be Sasha. She would be the girl that doesn't fit in. She would always be falling down and getting picked on. I would make her be smart and awesome. She would have only one friend and she will betray Sasha. Sasha will then play a trick on those kids who stole her friends. She is going to put slime in their book bag's. So when they get in them, they will be slimed.

I thought that the OAT'S were going to be a lot harder than they were. I think that we are all going to pass. I was a little stressed at first
but once I got started I was not stressed any more. The longest thing about the tests was the reading, it took the longest.





3/31/09 Larger Than Life Lara

The person telling the story is Laney. I think Laney is a tomboy. I also think she has a hard life. She is very, sarcastic. She has a very different vocabulary. She likes the outdoors and Knows how to suck up to her dad. She loves baseball. She can run very fast. I picture her being tall and skinny. I think she ''likes'' her brothers. Laney is the kind of girl who does not care what people say about her. In school I think she is not popular but not a nerd. I think she's in the middle. I think she's not afraid to say what she thinks. Thats what Laney is like.




/21/08 Public Enemies
I didn't really read much today. But this is what I read. Meg and Aiden found HORUS and they saw hairless joe. He was driving a really cool car. I think they are scared.

Good job with organization and reading log. I would still like to see another sentence or two when you write your journal entries. I would also like to see more specific details.
Areas in red need some improvement.

3 or B

  • Entries have several details from the book
  • Specific details from book relate to the topic and thoughts, ideas, and opinions
  • One paragraph (5 - 7 sentences) each day
  • Understanding of book demonstrated in journal
  • Explains the "So What?", theme, or lesson
  • Format is correct
  • Reading from SSR and home is logged in book journal daily
  • Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization is correct


1/6/08-The Stowaway Solution
 I'm going to write about Meg. I think Meg is very headstrong. I think she does want she wants when she wants. She is very hopeful and nice. [ When she wants to be]. Meg is a very brave girl. I wonder what shes going to do next!

1/5/09 Two Goals For 2009

One goal of mine for 2009 is to get my grades up, and keep them up.One way I'm going to do this is to make sher I get all my work in on time. I will put it in my folder so I don't lose it. Then I will have it for every class. Re-reading is a way I could make sher it makes sense too.Thats how I'm going to get it done.

Another goal I have for 2009 is to get organized. I will do this by cleaning out my folder all the time. And will keep it clean. I will bring only what I need to school. Then I could clean out my locker and then if I put something in it I WILL NOT lose it. Thats a lot of ways I am going to keep myself organized


12/17/08 The Fugitive Factor
The major problem in my book is Meg is in jail. Now Aiden is all by his self. Then Meg sees hair less Joe at the police station. She thinks he is going to kill her. So she starts to dang and hit the door. Then she took ma picture off the wall and slams it agents the door. She started screaming at the top of her lungs.

12/15/08 Response to homework
I liked doing this with my Aunt. We though I should get a B because I had good spelling and I was good at staying on topic. I think my Aunt liked it to. We should do them again sometime. I think my Aunt liked reading them and grading them . My Aunt read through them and she said '' who are these other people talking''. I told her but she still didn't under stand. She really liked it to.


12/10/08 The Fugitive Factor- Two important events in my book are:
Meg and her brother went to Boston. Aiden lied to these guys and he got a job. He made money to get clothes and food. They stayed in a five star hotel. Then the cops came and they ran. The cops weren't after them. Then they went back to bed.
12/8/08 The Fugitive Factor
There are two main characters in my book. There is Meg and Aiden. I think I am most like Meg. I think I am like Meg because I am not afraid to tell people what I think. Plus we are both girls. This is a really good book so far.


12/4/08 I had trouble in getting to Solla Sollew
 I think the book I had trouble in getting to Solla Sollew is a good book. I think it is funny. I think the gist of this book is you will always have troubles. No matter where you go or what you do. You will never not have troubles in your life. Troubles will always be there even if you don't expect them. I think this book is a good way to learn that.

12/3/08 Paitaan W. Gathering Blue
I think you would like the book I am reading because it talks about a girl in a old town. She is very alone but she has people that knows where she is and how she is doing. I liked it so hopefully you like it to I thought it was a good book. This was such a good book and I hope you think the same if you read it. I hope if you don't find a different book you like then just find this one and pick it up and read the first few pages then see if you like it. I hope you read it. Make sure you keep this book in mind.

12/2/08 The Haymeadow
 Today I read the most awesome chapter ever. John had awakened to a weird sound. It was a bear and it was killing the sheep. He went out and the bear hit him. Then he saw the dog she was on the ground. John looked over her and then he saw he was bleeding and then he laid down on the ground.

11/18/08: The Haymeadow
At the end of this book I predict that John will like going up on the mountain and taking care of taking sheep. I think he will like it so much he will go up every year. I also think Tink will come through his cancer and will come home to the ranch. I think Johns dad will talk to him more and will get over his wife dyeing.

11/17/08 The Haymeadow
I thought that Johns dad was going to go up on the mountain but he told John to go. He has to stay up on the mountain all by himself for three months. He is 15 years old and he has to do this. I would say no way am I going up there.I think this is a good book so far.

11/14/08 Rachael said
I am so Glade that you are taking suggestions from your friend! I have never herd of that of that series before. Is it good so far?

11/14/08 Sarah said
Sam I think there are 7 books in the series. These books would been GREAT to for you! they are really amazing, all of them! I hope you try them and like them are much as I do, maybe you'll catch up with me!! see ya soon!

11/14/08The Haymeadow
I've just started reading this book. This is a book I have never read before. Its a good book so far. My friend said I should read it. So I'm going to take his word for it a read it. I can't wait to see what happens next.

11/13/08 Just Jazz
The main character in my book is Jazz. I think Jazz is very moody. One minute she can be happy and the next thing you know she's sad. Jazz has brown eyes and long wavy brown hair. Her skin color is a light brown. She love art but if anyone talks about church,the bible or god she gets a little bit mad.

11/12/08:Just Jazz
This time Jazz is not doing so good on her art. She still hasn't made any money from her art. she might not get the art studio after all. She is in a art thing where she has to make a wide mouth bass.

11/11/08 Ryan V. said
This sounds like you like this book, I might read that book. This book sounds like girls will like this book and will stick to it. The book sounds as if the book was a real life situation.

11/11/08 Just Jazz
 The best part in my book so far is when Jazz and her mom work out a deal. The deal was if Jazz can sell her art she can keep making it. Part of the deal is that if she can' t sell her art she has to quit her art class. If she does sell her art she can make the room next to her room into a art studio. So she tries to sell her art but no one will buy it.

11/10/08 Just Jazz
 Mr.McGuire I was just looking for a book when it caught my eye. I picked it up and read the back and I liked it. Thats how I found this book. I think I will stick with this book. When I get done with this book I beat a lot of girls will want to read them. It is a really good book I want to read them all.


11/7/08 Mr. McGuire said
How did you, Destiny, and Kara find these books? They sound like we need them in the book room. I'll be a lot of girls would read them.


11/6/08 Just Jazz I like this book so far. its different than a lot of books I've read. Its about a girl who likes art. Her and her friends have a blog. They have a lot of different blog questions. I like storm the best.
